CURRY & CREW CLAIM POWERDEMON .COM PIT STOP CHALLENGE TITLE

Mark Curry and his good hands crew of Michael Umscheid (impact wrench),
Kevin Schoener (tire carrier) and Bryan Meredeth (Jack-man) shattered the
former track record of 36.932 seconds and set a new POWDERDEMON.com Pit Crew
Challenge record with a blistering time of 34.408 seconds to capturing the
title of fastest crew in the Texas Super Racing Series at the 2004 Space
City 125.

Powertrain Development & Performance Transmissions (PowerDemon.Com) posted a
$500 cash bonus to the team that performs the quickest pit stop. “We are
doing this because we wanted to give something extra,” said Robert Vining
owner of Power Demon.Com. “We also posted awards for the top 3 finishers in
the race. We wanted to recognize these crews for all their hard work.”

As the pit trio flew around the Curry machine they decided to use a rear
jack point in an effort to pick up some valuable time. By the time jack-man
Meredeth had finished his third pump Umscheid had the right rear off and was
waiting as Schoener slapped the new rubber on the car. Five quick hits by
Umscheld on the lugs and then it was all up to Curry to complete the hot
lap.

“The lap was easy,” said Curry about his part of the challenge. “Those guys
did all the work. I wasn’t ready for it to come down when it did because it
was so fast.” Curry battled through a shift problem between second and
third gear coming out of the pits after the tire change. Once the car was
in third Curry found the groove along the back straight and powered out of
turn four to take the checkered flag.
